Y-27632, originally synthesized by Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, is a selective and a strong ROCK inhibitor, which activates the ROCK signal cascade. It was found, that the inhibition of ROCK was beneficial for the prevention of systemic lupus erythematosus, which possibly by suppressing NF-κB activation. Y-27632 can promote both the ex vivo and in vitro proliferation of limbal epithelial cell proliferation. The in vivo enhanced epithelial wound healing further implies that the Y-27632 may act as a new strategy for treating limbal stem cell deficiency. Preliminary human cases confirmed that ROCK inhibitor eye drops were considered effective for treatment of corneal edema associated with cataract surgery.

Sample Use Guides

in patients: Y-27632 (10 mM), eye drops topically in mice: 5mg/kg Y-27632 was intravenously injected
Route of Administration: Other
Myc-tagged ROCK-I precipitated from lysates of HeLa cells overexpressing this kinase was incubated with 330 μg of protein/ml of histone type 2 and 1 μM ATP at 30°C. Recombinant ROCK-I was then incubated with various concentrations of ATP at 37°C for 30 min, and the enzyme kinetics was analyzed. This analysis revealed the Michaelis-Menten kinetics for this reaction, and the Km value for ATP was calculated to be 0.15 μM by the double reciprocal plot of the reaction. To elucidate the inhibition mechanism of Y-27632, the reaction was further performed in the presence of 0.3 and 1 μM Y-27632. It was shown, that the addition of Y-27632 increased the apparent Km values for ATP of ROCK-I in a concentration-dependent manner without any change in the Vmax value. These findings suggest that Y-27632 inhibited ROCK-I by competing with ATP for its binding to the kinase. Similar results were obtained with ROCK-II, and the Ki values of Y-27632 were estimated to be 0.22 and 0.30 μM for ROCK-I and ROCK-II, respectively. Selectivity of inhibition by Y-compound was then examined by comparing their Ki values for two other Rho effector kinases, citron kinase and PKN, as well as PKCα. The Ki values of the Y-compound for citron kinase and PKN were at least 20 times higher, and the Ki values for PKCα were about 200 times higher than those for ROCK kinases.
